Seeing Merkava take the smoothie and the rose also sees that he blushed a little, wow it has been a very long time since she actually made anyone blush by giving them a flower or saying something. Hearing Merkava sayy it was very pretty here and he could see while the Autobots, maximals fought so for for the peace and the defense telling her that only only of his family would understand as well. He says in a clam matter as he looks around smiling.
Speaking again saying he has told Onslaught Jr. that he needs to stop look around and smell the roses at some point in time, Onslaught Jr. more less makes this a joke.
Shaking her head that didn't surprise Stingray in the least most of the Decepticons never waned to stop and smell the roses or the see the beauty with in . All they wanted was power and wanted to destroy everything in their paths.
"Half your family must have a big family?" she said with a slight smiled letting out a deep sigh. She wished that Striker was here to see that the war more or less ended for a short time though how long that remains the question of how long the peace will actually last. Her brother would have enjoyed the peace and fallen in love without fighting the Decepticons.
Looking at Merkava, "at least you have a family, for me I'm the only one alive though I have my friends I could call my family," she sipped at her smoothie could use a good shot of xxx energon smiling inwardly to herself, slag when was the last time she actually had a good shot of aged energon? far too long for her to care for. "though I don't think your family would be too happy to have an Autobot/Maximal in thier sights, then again I could be wrong maybe sometime I could meet your family Merkava."
Alone Decepticon had been watching Stingray from the distance hidden in the bushes out of sight. Over the past months the Decepticon had heard rumors that Stingray was brought back online like her other thorn in the side Elita-1 sending one of her drones out to comfirm the rumor and when it was comfirmed after a week since Stingray was brought back online.
The Decepticon had spied on Stingray keeping track of what Stingry was doing when not on duty. Also found out that Stignray was now part of the Maximal council only because of the rumors through the grapevine that most of the other members including Elita-1 more or less used enhancers to make themselves younger if not kids.
The Decepticon saw that Stingray liked to spend time here at the park when she was not on duty or working for the Council. This was a good chance for the Decepticon to cause havoc it has been far too long since it had any fun fighting.
Though there was a slight draw back Stingray was with a Decepticon a Neo Decepticon of all places. The lone Decepticon knew all too well that Stingray hated all Decepticons with a burning passion. Not like Stingray at all. No matter it has been far too long since it has brawled or fought dirty with Stingray.
The hidding Decepticon grinned inwardly it had to admit that using the enhancers and taking a few years off and feel like you could fight like when you were younger. It watched Stingray and it quietly took out its weapon and was ready to strike Stingray when she was close enough oh what a surprise that is going to be when it sees the look on Stingray's face when Stingray sees her foe from the past.
Stingray moved down a few bushes as she looked at the another flower that she liked picking it for herself since she gave the rose to Merkava, then moved back to Merkava a little.
The hidding Decepticon cursed under it's breath and quiety moved towards Stingray with it's foe being distracted it should be pretty easy for an attack. The hidding Decepticon was close enough and sprung out from the bushes and stuck the weapon right into the back of Stingray's right shoulder and ripped down Stingray's shoulder and right side.
Stingray just tured around to face Merkava"love the flowers..." She stopped in mid sentence when she felt something perice her shoulder and felt the ripping from the shoulder down her side, going down to a knee and then quickly pulls out her weapon and swings around to face who had attacked her .
If Stingray was a human all the color form her face would have drained out competely. It was like seeing a ghost from her past. The shocked look on her face was more than she cared to show.
How?...oh slag...I thought...."Stingray studdered the words out of her mouth.
Well, well my dear, dear old, old foe you thought I was gone for good?"Tearoness spoke with evil in her voice finishing Stingray's sentence for her.
Ah I'm here for good and once and for all I'm going to finish you off one major thorn out of my side finally!" Tearoness said as she swung her weapon at Stingray.
Despite being injured she jumped out of the way of Tearoness's weapon, Yes it is a shock that you are still around though most of the Decepticons from the Great War and Beast Wars are still around but it doesn't surprise me that you haven't changed at all still the bitter and dirty fighter you are." Stingray said moving quickly and throwing her right hand into Tearoness's jaw.
Tearoness staggered back a couple of steps and then shoulder tackled Stingray to the ground and throwing her own fists into Stingray's jaw.
Stingray managed to block the fists and she flipped Tearoness off her standing up holding her shoulder for a moment.
Tearoness hits the ground getting up quickly and charges Stingray full force with her weapon out nailing Stingray's right side the weapon goes clean through quickly pulling it out Tearoness swung the weapon to take Stingray's head off.
Going down to her knees holding her side and seeing Tearoness's weapon quickly going down to the ground and rolling towards Tearoness she knocks Tearoness off her feet. Standing up quickly sees where her weapon was and quickly grabs it and pulling the safety off this was the frist time she used her weapon in a very long time since she had to use her weapon and she didn't want to use it either.
Standing up again Stingray aimmed the weapon at Tearoness fires off two rounds one for her hand to make her let go of her weapon and the other more than likely would graze Tearoness's leg.
Both rounds hit their mark the weapon was knocked out of Tearoness's hand and the second round grazed her leg. That should more or less shut Tearoness up for a little while.
Tearoness curesed widly picking up her weapon looking over to Stingray, This is far from being finished Stingray better watch your back and your close friend matter of face watch everyone's back in the Council," Tearoness said as she vanished.
Stingray goes down to her knees holding her side and she was breathing pretty heavly, and everything was starting to get very fuzzy, Slag it what can't there be any peace just for once I would love not to fight anyone, Merkava hope you are good at patching up wounds," Stingray muttered through gasps of air.

Merkava cringes to himself as he picks her up carefully. The battle had been over in a matter of minutes, he was barely able to keep up with what was going on. Surely that said something about Stringray's opponent, he thought to himself as he starts to carry her over to the nearest building. "I do, but I need materials. Stay with us stingray, just give me the time I need to work." He mutters, carrying her into a nearby convenience store and setting her lightly on the counter. He looks over to the person behind the counter and mutters a list of materials, before responding sharply. "NoW!" as he examined her wounds. The employee ran off scared, nodding. Even if this was Cybertropolis, he wasn't about to piss off a Combaticon, no matter what their generation. A section of Merkava's helmet flipped down as he started to scan for internal damage. After a few moments, he sends out a simple but brief message over his family's com channel. ~Council member injured in Cybertropolis, possible terrorist still in location. Need back-up, now.~

~This is Ripoff, darling. So what's to be the problem?~The ever-colorful Arms Dealer Ripoff responded to Merkava's IM ~Give me the cooridinates and I'll be there before you can say "So last season!"~He also gave off the impression that he giggled at the end of the line. Another IM image came after Ripoff's response. The IM responded ~Finally. Something to do! Where you're at, hornface?~

If there was a time for Stingray to remember what Ratchet had taught her long ago was when you are injured is to stay calm and try to stay focused as much as you could try to talk to the other person so you wouldn't drift off, and that is what Stingray did she remained calm as much as she could.
As Merkava picked her up gently and headed to most likely to the nearest building and out of th everyone's way. She heard Merkava say as they were headed to the nearest building that he did know how to patch wounds and to stay with him and give him the time he needed to work. He gently sets her down on the counter she flinches a little in pain; Stingray would do what she had to do to give Merkava the time he needed to patch her up.
Hearing Merkava mutter off something it sounded like it was a list of materials he was going ot need and there was a very sharp tone to his voice when he told the other person on the other side of the counter to move it and move it now to get the material that was needed, while he was looking over the damage done to her. It looked like he was in deep thought, happy to know that you can patch up wounds," she said with a half smile. Hmm wonder if you will give my old friend a run for his tool?" She wanted to laugh a little but knew if she did that it would hurt though there was a smile.
As Merkava was looking the injuries over on Stingray one could see where the weapon had entered the back of her right shoulder and a nice long rip in the armor down her side and where the weapoin had entered from the front of Stingray's right side. wires were exposed and dangling in a few areas.
She tried to think of something to talk about at the moment she really couldn't think of anything to talk about, though she never really talked about her family only because he was gone there are times she wished he would be back the good times they together were priceless to her.
Looking at Merkava, not sure if I should ask timing might be bad, do you have any siblings?" Stingray asked quietly. "Have one sibling but his gone I believe I have already mentioned him earlier," Stingray said with sadness in her voice.
Sneaks had set himself down right next to Stingray normally he would be hissing and nipping anyone whou tried to touch Stingray, this time he for some reason like his master felt he could trust this Decepticon or at least give it a try and it looked like Merkava was heping Stingray the best he could. He nudged Stingray's left hand and chattered softly to her.
Stingray felt Sneaks nudge her hand slowly turning her head to her pet companion, "I'll be okay little fella you have sat next more times than you could ever shake a fuel line when I've been injured don't you worry." She winked at Sneaks.
Sneaks more or less calms down, and sets his head on her left hand he looks to Merkava and chatters lightly to him saying thanks for helping his master.
Elita-1 was getting ready to leave the council building her day was nearly finished when an incoming message came in saying a council member is down in Cybertropolis and a possible terrorist attack, What in the name of Primus a council member is down and a possible terrorist attack to boot, what the Slag?" Elita said out loud as she got the location looking over to Cheet's who was still there also, Cheet's going ot see who the council member is down hope it is not one our members also check out where the terrorist is, if there is a terrorist in the area," Elita said grabbing weapon and switching over to her alternate mode and dashed out of the council building
Heading the location of where the down council member was, she prayed it wasn't one the maximal's members hurt she would find out when she got there and she bolted as fast as she could.

"Of a sense...." Merkava responded as a section of his gauntlet shifts open and he starts to make what little barebone repairs he can until the supplies arrive. "My team is my family, though I think I'm the black sheep of the flock. Not enough killing instinct." He can't help but respond with a light sad smile as he continues to work, soddering the internal connections as best he can. "You should be meeting them in a little bit, i've radioed for assistance." He explains, even as he replies to Rip-Off's message. ~Iacon district, the large park... we're hunkered in the general store near by though I am not sure the attacker is out of range. Still working on repairs on Council Member Stingray.~ He takes a moment to list off the locations exact coordinates as he continues to work. "What made you decide to be a council member stingray?... you still have a lot of skills. Definitely Congressional Guard material." He asks softly as he starts to mix some of the brought materials together in one container, heating it.

Stingray heard Merkava say in a sense and let his sentence trail off for a moment as he started to make repairs with what bare minimum materials, he spoke again saying that his team was his family and he thought he was the black sheep of the group because he didn’t have enough killing instinct, and there was a slight sad tone to his voice.
She closed her eyes for a moment she didn’t like to kill either but when it came push to shove she did what she had to do and it never did feel quite right after she had killed, opening her eyes looking at Merkava, “I don’t like to kill either but you have to put aside your emotions and do what you have to do even if is right or wrong. I know it is hard to do when you care so much or have a kind spark.” She said softly.
Hearing Merkava say that she would be meeting his family shortly because he had called for assistance, and then he asks her what made her decide to become a council member and that she still have a lot of skills, definitely Congressional Guard material, asking softly.
Stingray wasn’t sure how to answer that question though there was a huge blush on face it took her a moment to think, sighing a little, “well I would say because in a sense the council wanted someone who more or less wouldn’t flip out turning themselves into a kid with enhancers because the world might end.” She said and blushed more. “I don’t mind being a council member at least I keep myself busy and it helps the council out. Though I kind of miss being part of the Congressional Guard.”
She closed her eyes again wanting to drift off, knowing if she did it would put Merkava in a bad spot. Shaking her head lightly again opening her eyes trying to think of something to talk about, but it was getting harder for her to focus, and she needed to focus as much as she could and stay with Merkava.
Elita finally made to the location of where the signal was coming from and she made a bee line to the building where the signal was coming from pulling out her weapon and she carefully looked around then she entered the building upon opening the door Elita’s spark sunk seeing Stingray, “For the love Primus Stingray what in the pit happened? It seems likes you just can’t stay out of harm’s way,” Elita said with concern walking over to Stingray.
Stingray heard Elita say what happened and she just couldn’t stay out of the way of getting hurt. It has been a long time since the last time she had been injured, turning her head towards Elita, “I know Elita, we have trouble brewing and I mean trouble I hate to be the bearer of bad news…” letting her words trail off for moment so she could focus again. “An old friend is back I mean Tearoness is back and she is back with a vengeance, let’s say more or less Tearoness got the upper hand on me shouldn’t have been distracted like I was and this is what I get,” she said sadly. “Not sure where Tearoness would have headed, though she did leave a message saying that I better watch my back and of matter of fact I should be watching everyone’s back. If I can interrupt what Tearoness said correctly I have a feeling that she might attempt an attack on the council," she said with concern in her voice.
Elita stood there and took that information in she in a sense couldn’t believe that Tearoness was still alive, shaking her head for a moment stepping over to Stingray and Merkava, “I can’t believe she is back thought that we had finally gotten Tearoness out of the way guess we were totally wrong. Alright I’ll look around here and see if I can pick up anything that was left behind from Tearoness. Do you if she still had her scythe Stingray?” Elita asked.
“Yes she still has her scythe Elita and I have to say her skills have improved since the last time we battled or before I went off line.” Stingray said softly.
Elita nodding to her friend, looking over to Merkava, “Nice to see you Merkava it has been a while and thank-you for helping Stingray how bad are the injuries? I’m assuming that you have already alerted your team?” Elita asked though there was a slight bitter sound to her tone of voice.

Merkava chuckled for a moment as he heard stingray's explanation. "Because you already tried some, right?" He couldnt help but tease at this point. A positive emotion was as important to treatment as anything else. He stepped back as elita came over, silently listening to their conversation. When addressed, he nods with a polite salute. "Yes ma'am. They should be canvasing the area for potential other threats."

She more or less blushed a little more at Merkava's comment of trying the enhancers. "Let's just say I kind of got myself suckered into using the enhancers though I do have to admit that it is kind of good to take a few years off," she just smiled.
Seeing Merkava step back and let Elita step over to her as she had told Elita what happened then hearing Merkava tell Elita that his family would be there shortly.
Elita stood there for a moment taking in all the information that Stingray had told her looking over to Merkava, I'll look over where the battle was and see if I can find anything once you're team arrives here I'll help them search the area and surrounding area let's hope the trail won't go so quickly. Though I have to say Tearoness was pretty slick when it came to vanishing without a trace. Take good care of Stingray Merkava," with that Elita left Merkava to helping Stingray.
Stingray watched Elita go to work, hope you can pick the trail Elita I have a bad feeling that things are going to get really nasty soon.

The engine of a motorcycle could be heard along on the horizon. Along the strong motorcycle engine roaring, the sounds of an ancient Earth song "Pokerface" can be heard. A black and purple armed and armored Motorcycle with a grey Young Combaticon insignia painted on. The motorcycle towards Merkava and Stingray. The motorcycle than dims the music as the self-riding motorcycle skids to a stop. "Came as fast as I could, sweetcakes!" The motorcycle spoke. The motorcycle than shifted into a tall and armored Greyhound. Than the greyhound transform into a tall armored robot.

"Rip off, i need you to survey the area, make sure there's no more attackers." Merkava responded, before thinking for a moment and taking out some credits. "And i need some of your high grade energon stash-" he responded briefly before being cut off by a rail gun shot that digs into his back armor. Scrap metals could be seen heading through the park, charging up their weapons for the attack. Merkava falls to one knee, cringing in pain before another blast strikes him. The others open fire on rip off and the customers inside.

Stingray heard a loud sound in the distance no doubts that the sound was that of a loud motorcycle turning her head to see a motorcycle heading towards them and the motorcycle was playing music that she really didn't like.
Once the motorcycle had skidded to a halt in front of them, the transformer had the same insignina as Merkava, must be one of Merkava's team members as it spoke saying it came as fast it could sweetcake.
Stingray was about to say to Merkava's team member when it transfromed into its bot mode not to bad looking either cocking her eye brow at the bot, "Um pleasure meeting you, and please don't call me sweetcake trust me I'm not sweet at all could be your worst nightmare." there was a slight smile to that statement.
Merkava spoke to the to other bot saying Rip off survey the area make sure there are no other attackers. Rip off must be one of Merkava's team members Stingray thought, and she saw Merkava was silent for a moment as if he was thinking of something it looked like that Merkava took out what looked like credits.
Also saying to Rip off that Merkava needed Rip off's high grade energon, it looked like Merkava was going to say something else but was cut off in mid sentence and went down to a knee.
Smoking was rising off Merkava's back Stingray was was terrified that Merkava was hurt and she only just met him not to long ago matter of fact only a few hours ago. Moving to sit up and winching in pain Stingray managed to get over to Merkava, "are you okay Merkava?" she asked with concern she didn't care if she was hurting at the moment.
Stingray heard something like a weapon charging, "What the fracking slag is going on?" she asked then she saw the scrape metals that totally sent a bone chilling sensation down her back the last time she encounter these little monsters and was nearly eaten alive shuddering big time."You have got to be slagging me where the frack did these little monsters come from? I so totally hate scrap metals!"
Elita-1 had been looking around seeing if Tearoness had left anything behind she also heard something like weapon being charge looking aroud and seeing the scrap metals scuttling around the park and then the scrap metals opened fire Elita-1 dove for cover and pulled her weapons out she opened fire on the scrap metals,"for the love of Priums who lost their circuit boards letting these little metal eating buggers out! What a mess this going to be!" Elita said taking out a small group of scrap metals.
Stingray stood up the best she could pulling out her weapons and opened fire on the scape metal, "Hope Elita is okay," Stingray with concern as she took up a small group of scrap metals herself.

Merkava couldn't respond, the look of pain on his face was excrutiating to say the least. Whatever the ordinance the scrap metals were packing... it seemed to be slowly corroding away and up his armor on his back much like Cosmic Rust. What made the scene even more painful to watch was Merkava digging his hands into the metal of the store floor, holding his position as he continued to take damage and lean ever forward... It was clear he was using himself as a cybertronian shield for those still in the shop... but what wasn't clear was how much longer he could stay online... let alone 'kneeling' as he was.

Stingray saw the look of pain in Merkava's optics, then she saw what was causing the pain and she more or less gasps in horror seeing what she thought was comsic rust.
Remembering the time on earth from the greatwar Megatron had come in contact with the plauge and infected every Decepticon and Autobot and nearly wiped both factions out, oh for the love of Cybertron not the dreaded plauge! This is totally madness!" as she kneeled down next to Merkava, she knew th is was very catchy to say the least Stingray had to do something but what? She fired at a of incoming scrap metals taking out the group.
Stingray looked at the advancing plauge she had to get Merkava to the medical colinic and fast, but she couldn't touch Merkava becasue of her injuries one little touch and she would be infected by the plauge herself.
Tapping her comm link,C>Elita come in do you copy?
Elita's comm went off,C>Yeah I copy Stingray what's wrong?"
C> I don't suppose you are having a mega bug problem? and worst yet I think that the bugs are carrying the comsic rust plauge.
Shaking her head Elita took out another group of scrap metals, C>yeah the little buggers are all over the place where I am, can you repeat the last part.
Stingray shook her head that wasn't like Elita to have her repeat anything this must be a really shock to hear about the plauge, C>I repeat Elita I think the bugs are carrying the comsic rust plauge. And whatever you don't get hit, bitten or if you have the slighest open wound or injury you will be infected with the comsic rust plauge Merkava has been infected with the plauge, I'm not sure how much longer he can hold on Elita.
Elita let that sink in for a moment and she was totally shocked beyond her wildest dreams that the comsic rust plauge would appear again, she had heard of the plauge and it nearly wiped out both the Decepticons and Autobots during the greatwar, though she wasn't there and wasn't sure who would know of cure. Elita did know that Stingray was part of the comsic rust outbreak maybe she could remember anyone who would know of a cure, C>Stingray do you recall who knew of a cure for the plauge?
It took Stingray a moment to think before she answered Elita, she blasted another good size group of scrap metals.
C>Slag Elita if I wasn't shaking in my metal boots at the moment, oh wait I think it was Perceptor, though I believe he one with the Matrix, I'm not sure who else might know. Stingray said as she thought.
The only bot she mightk know of a cure and if not the bot might know who else would know, C>The only other bot I know who might know is Ratchet.
While Elita listened to Stingray she had blasted away a few more groups of scrap metals as she headed back to where Stingray and Merkava were, C>Stingray do you know weher Ratchets's clinic is?
C>not off hand Elita though I can try to contact him on hte emergency channel and get the location of where his clinic is.
C>Do it Stingray I'll try to hold off these buggers with the help of Merkava's team.
Roger Elita and be careful!
Taking another group of metals out, "Man I hope Rachet has counsling I'm going ot need a shrenk for quite sometime,"Stingray muttered to herself.
Opening her comm link again to the emergency channel, she was sure how to phrase this she did the only thing she could hoping that Ratchet would respond, C>Stingray to Ratchet do you copy? Have a medical emergency two bots down with a whole swarm of scrap metals!
Stingray waited for a response, Merkava let's sget you out of here can you stand on your own? I can't help you not with my injuries and you have been infected with comsic rust.

He didn't know what happened. The last thing he remembers was Merkava was giving him some credits to get him some stuff and the next thing he knows he's currently lying on the ground suffering from cosmic rust. He spent the last few minutes screaming bloody murder. If his dad knew what he's currently doing right now, he would probably flip. Or just cancel his credit cards.
Ripoff cried in a camp and effeminate fashion as he runs and towards him. "MERKAVA! Oh my poor big tank bot! Oh what did they did to you?!" He sobs. He opens a comm link to somebody else. <<Vortex. *Sobs* We got a injured bot here! *Sobs* I want you to find whoever did it and make them pay. *Sobs*>> Ripoff was at a lost right now. He didn't know what to do right now. He wasn't a medic like Merkava. He was a arm dealer and self-described fanservice. He doesn't know how to treat stuff like cosmic rust and stuff. He than runs towards Stingray. "I don't know what to do! I don't know what to do! We have to save Merky!" He cries. He than grabs her by the arms and starts to shake her violently. "WE HAVE TO SAVE HIM! I CAN'T DO REPAIR JOBS! I'M JUST AN ARMS DEALER! A CUTE ONE AT THAT! I CAN'T DO THE STUFF MERKY DO! WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!"

Howling as more fire comes his way, Merkava struggles with his words. "W-...we need to bunk-NGTH... Bunker down... we're still out in the openI-OW!" He howls again as anothe blast digs further into his back. He manages to stumble back, grabbing onto the metal shutter in front of the store and starting to pull it down. However... he's leaving himself open to attacks from the front, even as it struggles against his pull. If Rip-Off managed to get ahold of himself... he might notice a hackable control for the shop's defenses and security. Nothing too hard for an old hat ripoff artist for himself... and it'll keep Merkava from getting his face blasted off if the gate wasn't fighting him. ****************** <<On our way Stingray, though they're not making it easy for a bunch of kids to get there.>> Ratchet responded, clinging to the back of Catilla and letting the more beast-adaptive of the two lead the way. Even though he can move well enough in his current form, Catilla had been running around as a cat since the Great War. And he wasn't too afraid to use that experience in the field. The Scrapmetals seem to be having trouble targeting their tiny forms and are resorting to attempts to just pin the two underneath their feet.
